January I-129F filers

[vosnmars 25]

Okay guys, it has been a roller coaster for the last month since we got the visa. We finally sorted out most of the things and just bought a plane ticket today. I pick up my sweetheart on Thursday! My wish has come true and he will be here for Thanksgiving! I was hoping he would be here a little before and not the day of, but I am very happy no matter what!! Unfortunately, he is so worried about having a one way ticket, trying to leave Kuwait and POE. I just hope things go smoothly. I need everybody's fingers crossed please

The wait to hear from your loved one is so hard. Best wishes for a smooth journey to the US and through POE!!

Thank you so much! We've already had a horrible start with this. Plane ticket got canceled by travelocity for a single missed phone call. Let's hope the second time around we have a confirmation. This has truly been exhausting. I need the rest to go smoother haha

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Sabi!!

Fiancé and I picked up our marriage license on Monday and then went shopping for our Thanksgiving meal on Tuesday. He hasn't had a proper roast turkey in over 20 years! (He's had pre-sliced turkey sandwiches.) No pressure on me or anything. He's about 75% adjusted to the time zone change, thankfully.

Our Thanksgiving was great! Despite our sleeping in, and thus starting the turkey breast later than expected, everything turned out well. I'm making turkey & dumplings today to use up the rest of the turkey.

We met with our wedding officiant on Friday evening over a bottle of wine to talk about this Saturday's ceremony. I practiced doing my wedding make-up and it turned out well and my dress fits perfectly. Hooray for small miracles! Chatting with a caterer today to get the food organized and then we'll do a bunch of rushing about on Friday to get fiancé hair trimmed up, shoes shined, etc. My GBFF (G=gay ) ordered a flower bouquet and a boutonniere. In between work and everything else, I need to finish the wedding playlist and get that loaded on my iPod.

Fiancé has been in Portland for one week as of last night! He's already registered for a library card and will be hitting the shelves tomorrow. Fortunately, you only need to show a photo ID and proof of residence in the county to get one.

We'll be back at the marriage license office first thing next Monday to get copies of the official certificate and will then put together the AOS package.

So much craziness, but so worth it!! Hope everyone else is doing well! I cannot believe this year is almost over! Remember where we all were back in January? Going through the waiting process seemed as if it took forever, but now, looking back, it feels as if it flew by.

Congrats LFL on your progress and to everyone else on our January thread that is now at the AOS stage.

We are still in wait mode... unfortunately , although I am happy to be further along in the process... my heart goes out to all those who are still in the NOA1 phase.. what an incredibly long and frustrating process.

Right now we are in the holiday spirit, gearing up for Christmas. I am so thankful that my hunny is able to come to Canada and be here with us for Christmas and New Years. Then back to waiting in January.

Medicals on Jan 7th, 2013

Interviews on Jan 22nd, 2013.

Planned POE is May 1st, 2013.

I have been busy making sure the enrollment process for the kids schooling is going smoothly for when we get to the US, along with initial wedding planning. All of the other court documents are done and signed so we are good to go pending outcome of medicals and interviews... Please keep us in your thoughts.. hoping all goes smooth!!

Cheers everyone.

Glad you enjoy the time with your fiance yes indeed, now looking back it doesn't feel like we have been through so much waiting and so much pain and frustration! BTW AOS process is much easier , at least for me, I sent the papers last week but I do not stress or worry about it too much as I am already here with my love so any waiting is bearable together

Texas you are guys in my thoughts every day!

did you get a civil surgeon to transcribe from the ds2035 or you just send it the copy of the ds2035 that you got at your medical with your AOS paperwork?

I just spent hours researching this same topic!!! Ahh!!! I finally decided that he did get all of the required vaccines aside from a flu shot (which we both got at Walgreen's a couple of weeks ago anyway)....so I thought that we were set to just send in the copy of the ds2035 BUT THEN I found this: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1aos And it says that you have to take the ds2035 and the first page of the 693 to a civil surgeon anyway!!!! I am sooooooooo confused. WHY do I need to go to another civil surgeon just for them to sign something and seal it in an envelope?! Help, guys!
